Animated Screensavers

RichardBr

Thank you!! I'm gonna get some of these and leave my screensaver to change every 30 seconds haha...
P/s: my roommate said he's gonna stare at them all day long :D

@hyruleslink You motivated me ;) here is the Megaman X Screensaver (I couldn't recreate the castle in the background though) and thanks @lilbud for the artworks:

Hyruleslink

@malixx I'm glad I could help motivate you! This looks great Malixx Man X! lol. These screensavers you've made are one of my favorite extras I've added to the 'Pie. Can't wait to see the next one! :)

Malixx

@lilbud I did what I can!

@malixx WOW.

Malixx

@lilbud @LiveFastCyYoung Thank you guys! I'm using Photoshop/Illustrator for the images and After Effects for the animations

Hey @Malixx how have you been? I had my RetroPie going last Saturday during a 16 person Smash Bros tournament and a lotta people loved your screensavers! Someone mentioned that they would like to see a Donkey Kong Country screensaver. Just wanted to pass along the complements to the chef!

Malixx

@hyruleslink Aww thank you it warms my heart, I will try to make the DK Country soon!

Malixx

@hyruleslink he it is, I hope you will like it, it's the only artwork I find to work on:

@Malixx Almost the same thing happened to Hyruleslink happened to me. Had a few friends here and played a bit Doom and other games. They all said the screensavers look great.

Thank you for your work.

PS. One said that it would be an awesome interface if all games had one screensaver displayed as an animated boxart. But sure he doesnt know how much work this would be :)

Malixx

@analoghero Oooh great thank you! And the animated box art is actually a good idea, well it is also a lot of work, I will think about it!

If only I had the native PSD with all the backgrounds and all the characters already in PNG... :')

Hyruleslink

@malixx This looks great, thanks. I will be having a Festivus Party on Saturday, I'll be sure to have my build running during the party to show it off! :D

Malixx

@cyperghost Sorry it took some time, but I didn't forget here it is!

Hey @Malixx what do you think about doing a Final Fantasy IV screensaver based off of the GBA artwork? Here is a link to a really nice piece of artwork:

Hey @Malixx how have you been? Any new screensavers in the works? Playing any new games? I just finished up Lost Sphear on the Switch myself.

These are amazing! Do you have anymore NES/Famicom only based ones? I'm building an NES RetroPie and am looking around for some. Thanks :)

Malixx

@mystical Tell me the ones you want and I might do them! ;)
